British Fashion Illustrators Are Famous For Their Fashion Show.

In 10 minutes of a fashion show, Blue Logan can complete more than 30 sketches, simple lines, but very vivid.

The 29 year old British artist is famous for portrayed the first row of the show, but in fact, he is more interested in ordinary people.

Blue Logan is famous for drawing quickly. "I don't have a camera.

I can draw about 60 pieces in one night. "

He said.

He haunted all the fashionable parties and shows. In these black and noisy places, he just glanced at a few times, tickled a few strokes, and Suzy Menkes, Jefferson Hack and Anna Piaggi appeared on paper.

Sketching the top guests in the first row, the supermodels and the big shots at the party are BlueRogan's famous skills.

It must be said that his job is a bit like paparazzi, but those who are more interested in him than the middle finger will be relaxed and even praised if he has the opportunity to see his own self.

Blue Rogan was born in a family with strong artistic atmosphere. Her mother was a hat designer, and her father and uncle were both sculptors.

His interest is painting, not fashion, and therefore more inclined towards the development of the art world.

In fact, the front row of his show was already a little tired, and he began to turn his attention to the back row, especially those who were out of tune with the environment.

He also drew a series called "I should be on the list" to describe ordinary people who tried to blend in night clubs and show grounds.

During the Basel art exhibition in Miami, he was free to write at the invitation of The Standard. At a party, he painted Jefferson Hack and Calvin Klein, and drew a bodyguard outside the bar, "because that guy is cool."

He said.

B: when did you start creating fashion illustrations?

L: I haven't studied fashion related majors, and I'm not very interested in fashion.

But I always liked drawing.

I often travel, but I don't take my camera, but I always paint the beautiful scenery or architecture that I saw in a dilapidated sketchbook anytime, anywhere.

One day, I suddenly wanted to challenge my abilities and try to paint characters. When I was drinking with my friend Gianluca Longo, I talked about this idea. Fortunately, he was the fashion editor of the standard evening news, and it was in London Fashion week.

So he said, "honey, go to the show with me later."

In this way, I went to the fashion week with sketchbooks and ball pens.

B: I heard your mother was a hat designer, and her father was a sculptor.

L: Yes, my mother, Diane Logan, is very famous in 1970s.

I had bought a hat she had designed on Ebay with a label of 1970s Bergdorf Goodman, which was priced at $150.

I grew up in my father's studio, located in Smithfiled, London, filled with his sculptures, giant canvas, paper, pens, brushes and all kinds of tools.

So people in our family are always creating, and materials and tools are everywhere.

My uncle Richard Logan is an inventor. I often go to him to make some crazy things: submarines, airplanes and boat races. They can move, but they are very cheap.

I also have an uncle called Andrew Logan, who is famous in the British sculpture world. I often go to his studio and work with him.

He lives in a custom-made glass house, which is the craziest house on earth.

His party is very popular. You never know who will show up.

I was lucky enough to be born in such an interesting family full of creativity.

B: painting is much more difficult than taking pictures in a dark show. How do you capture those wonderful moments?

L: when you want to draw 30 shorthand on a 10 minute release, it's too late to think about it or even look at it.

But in the rush of chaos, you can catch all souls.

I have been training to control my eyes and believe what I see.

I often find myself graffiti without raising my head.

The more I try to paint what I see, the more confident I am.

I also like watching others, guessing their lives, designing dialogue for them.

Careful observation, with a sense of humor, and foolishly involved with others, this is my way of writing.

B: do people regard you as a paparazzi?

Have you ever had an unhappy experience?

L: they didn't pay much attention to me. This is very good.

Sometimes when they find out, they will avoid.

Once I saw Mick Rock, a cool photographer. He turned to me than the middle finger, and I painted him like the middle finger.

He didn't know how fast I was painting.

B: tell me about your cooperation with The Standard hotel in Miami.

L: during the Basel art exhibition in Miami, Andre Balazs, the boss of TheStandard, hired me. He gave me a notebook for The Standard, so that I could draw anything at random.

I drew JeffersonHack and Calvin Klein, and drew the bodyguards outside the bar, because the guy was cool.

This is my attempt to break through fashion illustration.

B: who do you like best?

L: I often paint fashion critics Diane Pernet, and Suzy Menkes and HilaryAlexander.

But then I was tired of the front row figures, and I began to draw back audiences, especially those who seemed to be out of tune.

B: are you a full-time illustrator at the moment?

L: I also do DJ once a week in a bar called Chloe in the lower east side of London.

B: what are the new plans recently?

L: I drew a series called "I should be on the list". It's about people who try to mix in night clubs and showrooms. I want to capture the interaction between different kinds of people.

I also plan to make a movie about London. The theme is bank robbery. I want to show the other side of London, not only bad dogs and dirty alleys.
